“I am Fortune’s fool!” he yells, a raw scream as hands grab at him. He’s not crying, not mourning, not here. The body of Tybalt stares lifeless at him, death hiding behind dull blue irises. He’s pulled back, and Romeo struggles, desperate to return to his side.
from the short fic Whispers of death (please never stop talking)
idk man tybalt recognising romeo by the sound of his voice seems a little fake and gay,,,

Other/see results
Completely depends on the version
NEW Romeo & Juliet Fics
Be Satisfied - 1,750 - PG-13 - Rombalt Modern AU. Tybalt sends Romeo a message challenging him to a fight. Romeo interprets it a little differently.
Wolf - 450 - PG - Montacrew Werewolf AU. Mercutio has a secret. Inevitably, it is revealed.
Something More - 2,215 - PG-13 - Bencutio Mercutio gets caught up in a large street brawl, which leads to a conversation, a ritual and something of a realization for Benvolio.
Romeo and Juliet Fandom Week: Romeo/Tybalt
I can't believe of all the Gay Shakespeare concepts I've never seen this, but: Bi!Romeo AU where Rosaline's role is merged into Tybalt's
Rombalt and/or Romtycutio whatever's easier for the playlist thingie
jdfhfttd I have no playlists for these so I just had to scramble something for Rombalt on the spot 😂 I mean, other than the Beauty and the Beast song being the obvious these song lol. This is very, ah, thematically haphazard but oh well.
Sorrow - Flyleaf
I knew You Were Trouble - Taylor Swift
Vermillion, Part II - Slipknot
Poison & Wine - The Civil Wars
The Right Kind of Wrong - Leanne Rimes
When You Cry - Vertical Horizon
Nostalgie - торба на круче
Ok for the ship pros and cons, completely random: Tyvolio, Romercutio, Rombalt and R/J <3
Tyvolio
Pros:
Enemies to lovers and this version is compatible with Romercutio ;)
I’ve enjoyed your commentary on like how they’re kinda parallels and foils at the same time - their personalities make them opposites and the feud fuels that, but there are similarities in like...their position relative to their families and stuff. I think those can be interesting dynamics to explore in a ship on the meta side.
Ok so Benvolio canonically has/had a dog, so we can assume he’s a dog person. And it’s pretty accepted that Tybalt is a cat person...can you imagine them moving in together with their respective pets and the pets do...the stereotypical cats-and-dogs thing? xD IDK this is really stupid but I find it funny.
Cons:
Subjective con, but basically neither of them are characters I’m very invested in in their individual capacity.
I like...really struggle to imagine how this would actually work? Like the emotional logic? How would they even go about falling in love? I’m cool with the ship like in theory, but I have a really hard time to imagining how the getting together/falling in love part would work.
Rombalt
Pros:
Enemies to lovers with a character I care about lol. Also a true Opposites Attract (TM).
I mean, if we’re gonna have an R/J type story, we just as might make it gay.
This one is a lot easier for me to imagine that Tyvolio bc... Well, Romeo is just Soft and is canonically willing to give Tybalt the benefit of the doubt (and frankly, probably would even without the Juliet thing). And because it’s a true opposites attract type thing, I can see Romeo winning Tybalt over by just being a sweetheart, even if it would take time and some external circumstances. I feel like Romeo is smol in a way Benvolio isn’t and that would trigger Tybalt’s protective instincts, etc.
(Ok also...Tybalt knows Romeo at the party by the sound of his voice. Who knows people they don’t regularly hang out/talk with by how their voice sounds unless they’re some obsession going on there?)
I kinda like a tropey slash ship of Dark Cynical and Dangerous/Sweet Smol Boi from time to time. (Even better that there’s a Twist because Romeo can actually be hella snarky. I mean he keeps up with Mercutio no problem.) I mean is it a bit Beauty and the Beast? Yea... Do I still enjoy it now and again with the right ship? Unfortunately, also yes.
The potential for this to become Romtycutio, which to me, is an OT3 inferior only to the Montacrew OT3.
Cons:
Given that Tybalt’s reaction to Romeo in canon is Murder makes the whole thing a little suspect? Like I can see this going/being very dark very easily. And I respect the dark!fic crowd but it’s not really my thing for ships.
Romeo Deserves Better
Romeo/Juliet
Pros:
It can be cute? Like I can certainly imagine that if they got to know each other and had a relationship it could have worked out very well.
A het ship where the guy is very specifically coded as having more feminine feelings/reactions about it.
Cons:
I’m sorry but Love At First Sight is a trope I gag at (and find entirely unrealistic and, frankly, boring).
We don’t really get to see their relationship? We don’t get to see how/why they work together? We get little glimpses, but I always feel like the “understand each other immediately” is more headcanons than canon. (Granted, they vibe well with banter at the party and stuff.)
Related to everything above, it just feels like it’s about lust. Like we’re TOLD it’s about love but Romeo constantly sighing over how beautiful she is and Juliet being explicitly horny as she waits for Romeo...Like, you two just really wanna fuck. And yea that’s normal, they’re teenagers. But like...I don’t care.
Romercutio
Pros:
Best friends to lovers!
Loyalty kink!
I’m not saying that one person has to die for the other for it to be romantic or anything...but self-sacrifice can easily hit an id sweet spot for me.
Opposites Attract in a lot of ways but like...in a somewhat more normal/realistic way than Rombalt.
Banter! Their banter is so cute!
And they are so clearly on each other’s wavelength and know each other and each other’s boundaries so well. I have no idea how people read the banter in Act 2 Scene 4 and interpret it as...a legitimate argument or something? It’s so clearly banter and banter they’re both delighted with. It’s nearly incomprehensible and I’ve seen different interpretations in different editions’ line notes, which is likely just a factor of reliance on slang and cultural references which have to some extent been lost, but I like to think (headcanon?) it also being a matter of them having way too many inside jokes. But it definitely that connection where the two people say ostensibly mean or offensive things to each other but they’re actually not mean or offensive because they’re so tuned into each other that none of it crosses a line or is interpreted as anything other than joking around.
They just generally feel very compatible to me, all things considered. AND their chemistry on the page is through the roof.
This dynamic has similar vibes to the whole Prince and His Knight thing I talked about with Danatole, even if technically it isn’t, since they’re likely social equals more or less.
There’s a lot of potential for BOTH softness and fluff and adoration AND drama and interpersonal conflict and stuff. This ship is so versatile.
While this is also a con, as we will see below, there is a certain high romantic potential to the story of the faithful unrequited love for a friend, who is too oblivious to Realize, that ends in sacrifice and tragedy. it’s sad but...it’s very emotionally compelling to me.
The UST could be so delicious.
And honestly, I don’t see a case for a reading of the play as having Mercutio-is-gay subtext without also reading it as having Mercutio-is-pining-for-Romeo subtext.
Cons:
Oof the canon...it does come off very one-sided. Like at absolute best, Romeo’s feelings would have to be very suppressed. And while I’m not one of those assholes who’s out here implying that unrequited love is somehow less love than requited love, it’s just so terribly sad :( And you have to work around the canon het and stuff to get them together in fic, basically needing an AU. Unless, I guess, it’s a were-together-then-broke-up situation which is EVEN SADDER NO. And they don’t really come off as exes to me (while Tycutio does).
